In this technical showcase, Dr. Richard Turner will present the science and impact of SANO Health’s industry-specific 1-day Mental Health Response Training (MHRT) program which has been developed in conjunction with Monash University School of Psychological Sciences. Drawing on peer-reviewed methodologies and real-world data, this presentation will provide leaders with critical insights into the mental health landscape of the FIFO workforce. Dr. Turner will explain the rationale behind developing a tailored, evidence-based training program specifically designed for the unique challenges faced by FIFO operations. The session will highlight how this structured approach equips workers with the skills to better recognise, respond to, and support colleagues who may be struggling with mental health issues. Dr. Turner will also share preliminary impact data from pilot MHRT sessions conducted across several Byrnecut operations, offering an early look at the program’s effectiveness in enhancing workforce capability and mental health support on the ground.

Modern operations—whether in mining, energy, infrastructure, or manufacturing—generate enormous volumes of spatial and visual data. Yet these insights often remain dispersed across disconnected systems, limiting their value and slowing decision making. This presentation explores how combining 3D reality capture, 360° visual scanning, and AI powered image recognition can transform fragmented information into a unified, constantly evolving living source of truth for any asset intensive operation.
By integrating detailed spatial models with continuous visual documentation, organisations can build high fidelity digital environments that accurately mirror real world asset conditions. AI techniques then analyse this consolidated information, automatically identifying anomalies, patterns of degradation, and emerging risks. This not only enhances situational awareness but elevates inspection efficiency, allowing teams to focus their expertise where it matters most and enabling more targeted, data driven maintenance strategies.
When these rich insights are combined with operational telemetry and historical data, organisations gain a holistic view of asset health, performance limits, and operational capacity. The result is a predictive, insight driven ecosystem that supports smarter planning, improved reliability, and safer, more efficient operations.
This presentation demonstrates how diverse data streams—once siloed—can be harmonised into a single, living intelligence framework capable of supporting any modern asset driven industry.

The mining industry is at a pivotal moment where operational excellence and strategic agility increasingly depend on how effectively organisations use their operational and business data. Although mines generate vast information across exploration, development, extraction, processing, and logistics, many still struggle to convert this data into actionable insight that builds resilience and competitive advantage.
This presentation explores the key barriers holding companies back, including legacy systems, fragmented data environments, siloed decision making, and the complexity of scaling digital initiatives across diverse operational settings. It examines how digital transformation is reshaping mining business practices, highlighting the role of artificial intelligence, digitalisation, cloud platforms, and emerging technologies in accelerating innovation and enabling safer, more efficient, and more sustainable operations. A core component of the session is a practical look at what an end to end integrated technology architecture looks like for a modern mining enterprise. We will break down the architectural layers, from data ingestion and contextualisation through platforms, analytics, enterprise applications, and frontline operational systems, showing how each contributes to real time visibility, advanced analytics, predictive modelling, automated workflows, and strategic decision making at scale.
The session will illustrate the characteristics of a digitally mature mining organisation and show how Schneider Electric and AVEVA are enabling customers on this transformation journey.
